Stage 3 Day 24 (0)
Anger is a good thing sometimes. I'm using it right now, with mixed results.
So I sat back and considered what I was doing wrong that led me to gaining weight again. This is what I've found:
- Limiting nicotine. I was still vaping but with like trace amounts of nicotine, I went back up. I don't think it's that important but it might be - my dad gained 20kg or so when he quit. I don't like this but I can quit later on when I'm happy with my weight again.
- More walking. Now, that will require me to change my schedule and I don't know how I'll be able to be productive after 10k walk if I am to do it in the morning, but people jog and are fine and so will I. It will be tricky to turn this into a habit, but I'll manage.
- More exercise. I've been using work as an excuse not to exercise as much and it was a mistake. Last 2 days I've proven myself I can do both. If anything this puts me into an interesting state of mind, extremely motivated.
- Eat less. Daaa... I was eating more as I was hungry more and I was not limiting myself. I thought this will be fine, apparently not. Going back down to the summer levels.
- Stop eating bread. In September I stated to buy myself bread again, I used to substitute it with rice waffles. Back to bread-free diet.
We'll have to wait to see if these steps will bring results. I hope they will. I don't know what I'll do if they don't.
The problem is I'm straining myself. Between eating less, working and exercising more and difficulties falling asleep I am extremely low energy now. Thankfully I can force my way through this fatigue, but for how long?

For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
